Abstract
The use of chemometric approaches for the simultaneous determination of Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions has been explored by means of a two component reagent. Mixed reagents of 1,10-phenanthroline and thiocyanate were used as a selective chromogenic system for speciation of Fe(II) and Fe(III). Although the complexes of Fe(II) and Fe(III) with mixed reagent show a spectral overlap, they have been simultaneously determined with chemometric approaches, such as principal component artificial neural network (PC-ANN), principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS). A set of synthetic mixtures of Fe(II) and Fe(III) was evaluated and the results obtained by the applications of these chemometric approaches were discussed and compared. It was found that the PC-ANN and PLS methods afforded better precision relatively than its of PCR. PC-ANN and PLS methods were also applied satisfactorily in determination of Fe(II) and Fe(III) in pharmaceutical samples.
